　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
　　Joblessness is far more than an economic misfortune.It can be a psychological disaster for the unemployed and their families.It can cause illness,divide families and create a downward spiral of feelings of worthlessness and lack of self瞖steem.According to research done by M. Harvery Brenner,associate professor of health at Johns Hopkins University,every 1% increase in the unemployment rate translates into 37,000 deaths over the next 6 years,including over 20,000 deaths from heart attcks,900 suicides and nearly 500 deaths from cirrhosis of the liver.In addition,Brenner estimates that 7,500 unemployed or their families will be admitted to prison after committing a crime or to a mental hospital.“The impact goesぁwell beyond the individual who loses a job,”said Brenner.“stress caused by economic factors affects our national life at every level.”
　　Men who have been socialized as the family breadwinner are especially hard hit by unemployment.They suffer greater depression and anxiety and have a higher possibility of psychotic behavior than men who are employed.“Nine months seems to be a crucial point when hope and patience give out,”said a leading psychologist.
　　After that,“illness,suicide,alcoholism,divorce,and even crime grow at epidemic　rate.”
　　Left without a job,many workers feel they have nothing to look forward to.They miss their co瞱orkers and the routine of going to work.For many,the sense of hopelessness grows worse every time they are rejected for a new job.When this happens often enough,the rejection unemployed workers feel may be exacerbated if some　friends and neighbors avoid them as if they had a contagious disease.

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
　　Ironically,in the United States,a country of immigrants,prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems.There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each succeeding group.As each group became more financially successful,and more powerful,they excluded newcomers from full participation in the society.Prejudice and discrimination are part of our history,however,this prejudicial treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust than with black Americans.
　　Blacks had distinct disadvantages.For the most part,they came to the “land of opportunity”as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions.Unlike most European immigrants,blacks did not have the protection of a support group;sometimes slave瞣wners separated members of the same family.
　　They could not mix easily with the established society either because of their skin color.It was difficult for them to adapt to the American culture.Even after they became free people,they still experienced discrimination in employment,housing,education,and even in public facilities,such as restroom.

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
　　About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville,England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sports for the disabled.
　　In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings things developed fast.Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome.Now,every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held,if possible,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although　they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.
　　The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sports.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied.Perhaps　a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be　disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
　　31. The first games for the disabled were held____猘fter Sir Ludwing Guttmann arrived in England.
　　A.50 years B.21 years C.9 years D.4 years
　　32. Beside Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held　in____.
　　A.New York B.London C.Rome D.Los Angeles
　　33. In paragraph 2,the word “athlete” means____.
　　A.people who support the games B.people who watch the games
　　C.people who organize the games D.people who compete in the games
　　34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
　　A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.
　　B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.
　　C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.
　　D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British.
　　35. From the passage we may conclude that writer is____.
　　A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabled
　　B.a disabled who once took part in the games
